You do excellent work Bandit.
I've only refinished a few stocks. I got into it a couple years ago. A local FFL was selling trade in 870's from the Louisville P.D. I think they were just under $200 but don't remember honestly.
The deal was first come first serve. You got to pick through and select the one you wanted. I walked in about 2 mins. before another guy. Both of us looking through these racks with hundreds of shotguns, all polymer furniture and pretty beat up. Numbers spray painted on them etc.
All of a sudden I spot WOOD. It was a Wingmaster that was actually in very good shape. Very little signs of use even but wood was a little rough, not bad just rough. I can only assume it was probably issued to a detective or admin.
Turns out it was the only Wingmaster in the whole bunch and only one with wood stock. Guy that came in behind me asked if there were more and was told no.

Thanks gents! After that 870 I had a bunch of oil left soooooo, I got a wild hair and decided to do my Marlin 94 .44 mag. Even though the factory wood still looked out of the box new it bugged me that I could see feint traces of nice wood under that thick coat of factory gunk.
So same procedure. Stripped the factory finish, sanded, then started with the Tru Oil. Wood Metal Art Fashion accessory Natural material

another Remington auto shotgun, this one a model 1100. The owner's grandfather bought the gun as a gift for the father, and it was passed down to his brother who made an attempt at installing a recoil pad. Between the neglect, use and buuba mods, it needed help. I reblued the steel, installed a new recoil pad and refinished the butt stock to match the original wood finish
